I might be alone here, but I kick the ball off by requesting a show of interest in a "Short" 25 lb gun as used by the Australians in the Pacific in WW2 in a 20mm scale.

References - the Australian War Memorial for photos, and the book "Australian Military Equipment Profiles: Field Artillery 1939-1945", and if i can flaming find where i put it, a book on the "Guns of the Regiment" about the guns used in the RAA.

You are right in that fact - the wheels came in two types - those commonly seen in pics with the Aussies, and the type you will see used in Europe by the British and Americans

Either way, the thickness of the wheels is a better way to judge the 75mm rather than the spoked wheels: the 75mm will have thinner wheels than those of the Short 25 in the pic next to its bigger brother.

Sorry Simon, my Pacific Aussies are only intended for skirmishes. Even if I ever play them at a larger scale (say Mark Pipers Isururava scenario for RF!) any artillery would still be off table most likely.

I wouldn't mind having them available (one can never know after all), but my interest is not high enough for me to join this build.

All my Pacific games are skirmish games, and my howitzers are intended for scenarios - game one is a beach head and I have to get the guns ashore intact.

Other scenarios involve Japanese assaults on defended positions (so gun and crews need to be protected) to moving the guns off board before they are captured/destroyed.

One good way to look at it is the 2nd episode of "Band of Brothers" where they attacked the gun position on D-Day, or the VC attack on Firebase Coral during the Vietnam war.
Aussie gunners even parachuted into PNG during WW2 (first Aussies to do so) with a US parachute unit (503rd???).
